The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. Several factors combine to make Puerto Rico an ideal place for solar power and microgrids.

economy away from dependence on fossil fuels like petroleum, coal and natural gas to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2035. and limit the permitting process to last no more than three years, like in Canada and Australia. Permitting issues also bedevil wind power projects. These issues are self-contained to the auto itself.”

So far Israel, Denmark, Australia , Hawaii and California’s Bay Area have plans to implement the Better Place model. The vision is fuelled by the fear of climate change and the need to find green alternatives to dirty coal, unpopular nuclear power and unreliable gas imports from Russia. The best part? It is truly cyclical.

Another 5% comes from wind and 5% from hydro. Geothermal is particularly attractive since it’s a “forever&# renewable power source much like wind and solar - but without the intermittency of those clean energy sources. There is no pollution to speak of with these plants. This means it is a “base load&# energy.

It will appear in Europe next year as the Opel Ampera and in Australia as the Holden Volt in 2012. If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal. South Korea did that and Australia is going to be doing that. Way to go morons.
